The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine code cleanup that renames the type `DerivationPath` to `RelativeDerivationPath` throughout the project. The change is purely a refactor: it does not alter how the code behaves, what it computes, or how it handles data. The commit message explicitly says the rename is intended to force other developers to update their code so the maintainers can identify places that may later need a new `AbsoluteDerivationPath` type. There is no security fix or vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API-breaking refactor. Downstream consumers will need to rename `DerivationPath` to `RelativeDerivationPath` when upgrading.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
